About Lage Nieuwstraat 283, 'S-Gravenhage
Yes, €762 is very low for a 80 m² apartment in Kortenbos. The neighbourhood average rent is €2,550, and even the cheapest private rental in the area is €1,070. However, this is a social-housing unit (corporatiewoning), so the rent is capped. The price is 70% below the neighbourhood average, making it a bargain for those who qualify.
The energy label is A, which means the home is very energy-efficient. You can expect low heating and electricity costs compared to older properties. This is a strong point, especially given the modest rent.
Kortenbos is very convenient for daily errands. There are several supermarkets within a five-minute walk, including SPAR express and Albert Heijn.

The nearest train station is 2 km away, which is about a 25-minute walk or a short bus ride. The high address density means stops are likely nearby.
